Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Silence deafened in the hallway; as Lin Fang started considering this, her teary eyes dried up, and they turned sharp, she had decided. "Let's talk about this more after you meet someone else."

"Someone? Who?"

"This is why I asked you to sign the agreement; honestly, no one agrees with your proposition; I also don't feel interested at all, but the ancestors have a question for you."

Mingyue frowned upon hearing this. 'An ancestor? But didn't the master say they could not live past one hundred years?'

"This is why I ask you to sign the agreement; honestly, no one agrees with your proposition. I also don't feel interested at all, but the ancestors have questions for you."

MingYue frowned upon hearing this, 'An ancestor? But didn't the master say they could not live past one hundred years?'

"I know what you are thinking. My aunt didn't lie to you; she doesn't know about the ancestor's presence.

In this whole village, only I know about this. As for how he could live this long, you will understand when you meet him."

They walked past a wall, then proceeded to go down toward the basement area, the place lit with glowing crystals.

Passing through another illusion wall, they finally reached the chamber. In the middle of the room, a skeleton sat cross-legged, with many arrays carved on the walls.

'I see, so he did something similar to my ancestor, but how old is this one? I feel he is even more ancient than him.'

The skeleton's jaw started to move, and a red glow then appeared in its sockets. It then stood up, creating a rattling sound from the skeleton.

Just like a person who has just woken up from sleep, the skeleton started stretching its bones, making MingYue's eyes widen in surprise. She never thought she would ever see something like this in her life.

Every time the bones moved, they made a crackling sound in the surrounding area. The skeleton's jaw then opened wide before closing again, just like someone yawning.

"How long have I slept, Lin?"

"Ancestor, the last time I was here, you were still awake, so I don't think even 10 minutes have passed," LinFang replied with puzzled eyes.

"Really? Kakaka, I really have grown old now," the skeleton replied as it used its bony finger to touch its lower jaw, a gesture people usually make when they are thinking.

"Let's see, 100 years, 1000 years, 2000? 5000. Hmm, that's not right, maybe 1721 years old?"

'What's wrong with this ancestor? He guessed 5000, and next thing is 1721?' MingYue thought. She started feeling worried about the negotiation since, clearly, the ancestor was an eccentric person.

What worried her even more was that she could not read any emotional fluctuation from the skeleton.

The skeleton kept getting out numbers that were very random, not even close to each other; in the end, he let out a rattling laugh, "Well, all of that doesn't matter anyway since I am already dead. Kakaka!"

COUGH! Ling Fang let out a cough to get her ancestor's attention back, "Ancestor, let's get to the main point."

"Oh yeah, what were we talking about?"

"You told me to bring MingYue here."

The skeleton looked at MingYue, his bony finger tapping on his lower jaw.

CLANG! CLANG!

"Did I order that? Hmm… Well, well, what a beautiful lady we have here."

At that moment, MingYue was trying her best to stay calm, her veins almost popping in the face of this skeleton, 'I don't know why I feel it's better for Alex to face this kind of annoying people.'

She took a few breaths and then said, "I am offering your clan to join my sect. With the situation now, it's only a matter of time until the conflict with the Yang clan turns into a full-blown fight; going to my secret realm will provide a safe place, at least until things calm down.

Of course, it's not free; I will also need help from your clan, but don't worry; I am not interested in your secret technique or cultivation method. What I need is a workforce."

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

"Sorry, were you saying?" The skeleton asked.

MingYue turned her gaze toward Ling Fang, who had a helpless expression on her face. Silently asking her, 'Can't you do something? It's your ancestor.'

Ling Fang shrugged her shoulders.

Seeing the exchange, the skeleton started laughing, "Kakaka, I'm just joking, young lady. As a leader of an organization, you should learn to be more patient."

"My name is MingYue."

"Yes, I know. But I want to call you young lady, kakaka."

'Hahaha, MingYue, I like this ancestor,' LinHua laughed.

'Shut up, LinHua,' MingYue replied as her vein throbbed. Her chest heaved up and down as she tried her best to stay calm.

"Ancestor. You should get to the point; we really don't have much time," Lin Fang complained.

At first, she felt the same way as Ming Yue, but now she had gotten used to it. Her ancestor is very childish, but she feels it makes sense.

If not because of this personality, she doubted any normal person would be able to stay sane, staying in the same room for God knows how long.

"Alright, sorry, Lin. Kakaka! I will get to the point now," the skeleton replied as he scratched his bony head.

Like a flick of a switch, the aura around the skeleton started to change, "Before we talk about that, tell me first, have you gone out from this planet?"

MingYue looked at Lin Fang for a moment, then back at the skeleton, and said, "I never went out."

Clang! Clang!

He tapped his finger on his chin again. The storage ring on the finger kept moving around; with a flick of his hand, a table then appeared; he then took a seat.

"Take a seat first. Then tell me where you got the building design?"

MingYue and LinFang took a step, sitting in seiza style on the floor. They sat with both legs to one side. The skeleton then took out a few cups of wine and put them on the table.

He then took the wine cup, pouring it into his skeleton jaw, making MingYue's eyes widen once more as Lin Fang sighed.
